Translation from the Latin of Cebes' Table and selected Dialogues of Lucian by Geoffroy Tory. The Table has been erroneously attributed to Cebes but authorship is undetermined.

Imprint date from Privilege, sig. -l2v.

Signatures: -l⁸ ,⁴ A⁶ B-T⁸ a-t⁸ v⁴ (first sig. sign reversed (l-) on leaves 3-4; v4 blank).

Library's copy has the device of Jehan Petit at the head of title and the device of Geoffroy Tory on v3v. Issues are also known with Tory's device in place of Petit's. There is speculation on the likelihood of Tory's having printed the work himself.

Woodcut initials and type from Tory's Champ fleury are used throughout and the text is bordered by woodcut frames, some showing the cross of Lorraine at the foot.

Mortimer, R. French 16th cent., 131

Brunet, column 1710

Bernard, A. Tory (Ives transl.), p. 27-28, 85-87, 201

Signatures in Library's copy bound in disorder: -l⁵-⁸ follow sig. ,⁴. A-T which follow in text are here bound in following a-v (in which o4 and o5 are missing), the two series being reversed in order, contrary to Tory's clear instruction on A6v just prior to the beginning of Cebes. Tory does remark that the two parts could be bound separately. Directions in an early hand provide instructions for tracking the text.

Library's copy with a binding near contemporary with the publication, and an inscription on the t.p.: Chatam 1597.
